If you’re a fighting game fan, then you already know Soul Calibur 4 is gonna kick ass. While I’m not so pleased about the whole Yoda and Darth Vader thing, I’m really excited about the Create-A-Fighter feature making a huge comeback. Hopefully I can recreate the two designs I use in Soul Calibur 3. Being the total geek that I am, I’ll even share them with ya!

This is my Wave Sword combatant, using the Assassin class. Like most characters with robe or cape accessories, there’s some overlapping issues with the outfit’s polygons during the heat of a battle - mostly from the back of the Gown in a windy environment - but the level of annoyance is ultra minimal. I’ve seen much worst, and you honestly have to be looking. As for inspiration on the design: I wanted a regal looking assassin who dual wielded. After picking out the clothing, I incorporated some loligoth elements into the appearance. Although red was already the default color for most of the parts involved, I darkened it to a blood shade.

This design is my Chinese Sword combatant, using the Pirate class. Zero polygon overlapping whatsoever… well except for the Spy Belt (although it happens rarely). For those looking for cheap thrills, omit the Body Suit from her lower torso and you get more bounce, if ya catch my drift. Personally, I felt she looked better without exposed cleavage. The idea for her came to me while I was randomly looking through the parts, and wanted to create something using the Feminine Outfit. I liked how it exposed the shoulders, and using the Prayer Pants to expose her lower legs made a great contrast to that. Emerald green is one of my favorite colors.
